"First of all, you have two constituencies that have rights. You have people who are killed or injured with guns and you have law-abiding people who want to use certain kinds of guns for self-defense. How do you blend the two? First of all, make sure the weapons are designed safely with trigger locks. ... Two, strong law enforcement so that they're not falling into the hands of the criminal element. Three, you look at a weapon the way you look at a car. You've got to know how to handle it. You should be licensed. ... And four, there are certain weapons that should be banned. If you do all that, both interests will be protected."
He wants to prevent guns from being used improperly and to kill people. He still believes that it is the people right to bear arms but that the law should be better enforced on the situation by making sure weapons are designed safely, make law enforcement strong, you should be licensed, and that certain weapons should be banned.

We have a responsibility to ensure that criminals who violate the law are prosecuted to the fullest, rather than restricting the rights of law abiding citizens. Gun control is a proven failure in fighting crime. Law abiding citizens should not be asked to give up their rights because of criminals - criminals who ignore gun control laws anyway...
John McCain believes that the right to bear arms is necessary. It is our rights to own arms but it is not acceptable for criminals to own arms but not to restrict law abiding citizens. He also believes that gun control is not effective at fighting crimes.
Because of the second Amendment we can bear arms. Many crimes have included assault weapons and other guns. but the main question is, should we not allow these weapons and restrict them from citizens?
I believe that we should not restrict the rights of citizens just because that these weapons are used illegally. It will not stop crime as much as thought because that these weapons could be obtained illegally. But I also believe that the guns that are restricted should be made legal and have safety improvements to make the weapon legal to use these improvements include smaller rounds in the clip and making the weapons semi-automatic.
It is our right as an American to bear arms because the second amendment and that we should not be restricted because that some guns are being used illegally.
